Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
If you call me at all,
Don't tell me that I'm ordinary,
Cause I won't be passing you, please don't leave
And if you tell me you're listening to everything you read
Turn off this light and call my name
Don't talk just ride
Who wouldn't let you be all about
About me
I'm only trying to work this out
If you call me at all,
Don't tell me that I'm ordinary,
Cause I won't be passing you, please don't leave
And if you tell me you're listening to everything you read
If you call me at all...
I hear you breathing on the line
Oh baby girl I'm not your type
I leave you hurting every night
So I won't be coming back
Who wouldn't let me be all alone
Who wouldn't let me be all alone
Who wouldn't let you scream ohh into a soft pillow
I'm such an animal
And baby honestly these teeth won't let you go
Don't tell me that I'm ordinary,
Cause I won't be passing you, please don't leave
And if you tell me you're listening to everything you read
If you call me at all...
Don't tell me that I'm ordinary,
Cause I won't be passing you, please don't leave
And if you tell me you're listening to everything you read
Turn off this light and call my name
Don't talk just ride
Who wouldn't let you be all about
About me
I'm only trying to work this out
If you call me at all,
Don't tell me that I'm ordinary,
Cause I won't be passing you, please don't leave
And if you tell me you're listening to everything you read
If you call me at all...
I hear you breathing on the line
Oh baby girl I'm not your type
I leave you hurting every night
So I won't be coming back
Who wouldn't let me be all alone
Who wouldn't let me be all alone
Who wouldn't let you scream ohh into a soft pillow
I'm such an animal
And baby honestly these teeth won't let you go
Don't tell me that I'm ordinary,
Cause I won't be passing you, please don't leave
And if you tell me you're listening to everything you read
If you call me at all...

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Having gay sex |:
I think this song is about a guy who is in a band, on tour, with a girlfriend back home that he is having problems with.
"If you call me at all, don't tell me that I'm ordinary." To me, that means that if his girlfriend is even going to bother calling him not to tell him he is ordinary by breaking up with him.
"Cause I won't be passing you, please don't leave." Means that he isn't scheduled to go anywhere near home on his tour, and for her to hold out longer before she gives up.
"And if you tell your listening to everything you read." He's saying not to believe the rumors she hears about him or the band while they are on tour.
"Turn off this light and call my name" She is going to bed without him.
"Don't talk, just ride." Don't think about all of their problems, just ride it out until he comes home.
"Who wouldn't let you be all about, about me" Someone is trying to talk her into leaving him.
"I'm only trying to work this out" He's only trying to follow his dream.
"I hear you breathing on the line Oh baby girl I'm not your type I leave you hurting every night So I won't be coming back" They are talking on the phone, and he says he's not her type because she can't handle long distance relationships. He leaves her hurting every night because he isn't there, so he says he doesn't want her to go through the pain of it anymore, so to just forget him.
"Who wouldn't let me be all alone" His friends tell him that he needs to stay with her.
"Who wouldn't let you scream ohh into a soft pillow" I have no idea what this means =) l0l.
"I'm such an animal And baby honestly these teeth won't let you go" He's an animal because he knows it hurts her being with him, but he loves her too much to let her go.
I think it's just talking about how his feelings go back and forth when he's away from her. One minute he wants her to hold on, the next he doesn't want to hurt her anymore, and then he's back to wanting her to hold on. I could be totally and completely off. This is just my view on it.
RESIDUUM - Go to pierce the veil's myspace, and on their music player it will have the option to download it. And then just click download and it'll go directly onto your iTunes account.
im usually not a fan of accoustic songs, but this song is ah-mazing it makes my heart melt (LL)
Eh, Sorry peoples. This is acually by Dance Gavin Dance's singer Jonny and Peirce The Veil's singer Vic. [=
I love this song so much, but I've only heard it streamed on their myspace. Anyone know where I can download it?
Yep! B-E-A-uuutiful song indeed! :D I love this song.
Jonny and Vic have great voices.
This is a beautiful song.
all this song is about is a bunch of guys getting ready for a huge suck fest
I think its about people in a relationship and the guy loves the girl and doesnt want her to leave him but he feels like he hasnt been the loyalist of people and feels that he should be "alone" hence the fact he's an "animal" but he just cant let her go.
I think it's about the guy being away all the time, and they fight about it
Then they have make up sex .
that's basically it.. fighting and make up sex
